Bank of America
For the past three years Bank of America has sponsored the Bank of America Mentoring Initiative. The initiative is designed to support high-quality mentoring programs that are serving youth living in low to moderate income households with emphasis in reaching small and rural communities. Fifty eight grants totaling more than $300,000 have been made since 2006 through a competitive grant process administered by Washington State Mentors.
